A Search Task Team is currently out in the streets looking for 19-year-old Kamogelo Baukudi, who was kidnapped by two males impersonating the police earlier today, Thursday 5 June 2025 at about 11:55.
The complainant, Daniel Malebatso, arrived at Marti Du Plessis School in Fitchardpark as usual to fetch Kamogelo Baukudi who is a Grade 11 learner at the school. The two left school premises with Kamogelo driving the Suzuki Ertiga.
Whilst driving along Vereeniging Drive Erlichpark Extension, Daniel alleges that they heard a siren sound from behind, and they were pulled over by a White Toyota Hilux GD-6 Double Cab. Inside the Toyota Hilux, there were two unknown male persons; one wearing police uniform and the other Blue tracksuits.
According to the complainant, the suspects’ bakkie was fitted with blue lights on the grill and what looked like a police radio inside. The suspect wearing police uniform confronted Daniel Malebatso and informed him that the Suzuki Ertiga they were driving in together with Kamogelo was suspected of delivering drugs. The suspects then separated Daniel and Kamogelo and instructed Daniel to drive at the front whilst they followed from behind to Park Road Police Station.
Both vehicles turned back and drove in westerly direction in Vereeniging Drive. Daniel alleges that a truck went in-between the Suzuki he was driving and the Toyota Hilux and he never saw it again. Daniel recalls that one of the suspects was speaking Sesotho fluently and even mentioned the name “Thipe”. The cellphones of both Daniel and Kamogelo were found under the bridge on Ferrera Road.
A case docket of Kidnapping and Impersonating the police was opened at Parkweg Police Station. Any member of the public who might have information that can help the police to find Kamogelo Baukudi; and might have seen the vehicles while in Vereeniging Drive is requested to contact Captain Sabata Jafta Moseme at 082 5262 713. Alternatively the information can be submitted on MySAPS App or call the SAPS Crime Stop number 08600 10111.
